Gherkin is a business-readable language that lets you describe software’s behavior without detailing how that behavior is implemented. Coursera's Gherkin catalogue teaches you the fundamentals of this scripting language, allowing you to effectively bridge the communication gap between business stakeholders and development teams. You'll learn the syntax and rules of Gherkin, how to write effective and clear user stories and acceptance criteria, and how to use it for Behaviour-Driven Development (BDD) and Test-Driven Development (TDD). Mastering Gherkin will empower you to design, develop, and test software that meets business needs accurately and efficiently.
